Winter Emergency Kit

[RLD4ISU]

Do you keep an emergency bag in your vehicle (winter or all season)? What's in yours?

We have blankets, ice scrapers and ice melt in the vehicles, plus I bought a backpack to hold some of these items:

Folding shovel
Extra socks
Gloves
Yellowstone whiskey
Emergency blanket
Ponchos
Jump Starter power bank
Flashlights
Bandaids-antiseptic
Matches
Hand/foot warmers
Playing cards
Compass/whistle
Paracord
Masks & bandanas
TP
Trash bags

I keep a roll of toilet paper in the back end of the SUV, that's it.

If I die from the cold, so be it but I will not put up with an itchy ass from not being able to sufficiently wipe if shitting in a snow drift.

We just have blankets, jumper cables, and ice scrapers. Some other good ideas in your list...including whiskey.

My husband put it in there - said we should have something to drink!

Dry bag full of extra clothes, a blanket and a basic car roadside kit. Should keep a gallon of water too.

Food...I could use a few days of fasting if we're being honest.

I may revamp the car roadside kit, like get a small portable battery charger and put things in a smaller compartment/tote.

Rubbers. You never know.

I make sure there are scrapers, a brush of some sort for moving snow, jumper cables and a phone charger. My wife adds about 10 blankets and a light jacket for herself (no idea why that). The vehicles she drives, the back cargo area is usually half full of blankets so its tough if you go on a huge grocery run.

Are you planning on breaking down in the arctic?

I ditched the jumper cables a few years back and now have a battery pack/jumper combo. They are pretty small now a days.

I don't drive anywhere without cell phone reception so a charger is all I need.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Flashlight, matches, first aid, water, food, blanket, extra clothes.

I have these with the tire pump in my kids' and wife's cars.

You've chosen wisely.

How much do you have to charge them? Thinking about getting one for us and one for my oldest who know lives on his own.

If you put in trash bags you don't even have to wander outside into the snow.

Sounds okay, but a texas fifth may be a bit more than needed.

I charge it it up in garage fully maybe twice a year. It only loses maybe 1 of the 4 "battery LED light bars" by sitting and not being used.
Nice thing its its also a USB charge for phones and devices.

Water in a container that prevents it from freezing.
